Saturday, May 11th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

[Aristus]

Dissembling harlot, thou art false in all,
And art confederate with a damned pack..."

The Comedy Of Errors, Act IV, Scene 4, Lines 99-100.

1. I LIKE it!

Useful on so many levels.

3. Hmmm...interesting alert. Shakespeare would have a hard time in these parts.

4. I cannot believe someone alerted on one of your posts.

Good grief.

Sympathy for bigots?

6. I expect it's the B word. It's a button pusher around here.

Harlot, apparently, not so much.

7. Humph.

B word...harlot...not much to choose from, in either case.

Except, I would guess that both apply to the woman pictured in the OP.

I feel no need to demonstrate solidarity with women who prop up bigotry and the patriarchy, and are basically traitors to all of womankind, and haters of justice and equality. Meh!

8. Oh, she is a piece of work!

Rep. Peggy Scott is reported to have said, " ‘My Heart Breaks’ Because Thousands Of Same-Sex Couples Will Be Able To Marry."

She also told the Star-Tribune:

"It’s a divisive issue that divides our state,” she said, wiping tears from her eyes as she stood on the House floor after the vote. “It’s not what we needed to be doing at this time. We want to come together for the state of Minnesota, we don’t want to divide it.”

With this type of thinking we would never have got any equal rights for anyone! If the government waited for a less divided time to pass laws to make women equals in the eyes of the law , she would not be up there to cry about people getting equal treatment!

9. Well done, my dear Aristus!

My education continues, as I didn't know who she is.

And of course, you and Will are unbeatable.

10. I have read this post and many of the answrs to it.

This "Representative" seems to forget that the Suffrage movement that help to make it where she could hold the office she has.

The big push was when President Woodrow Wilson said that 'World War I' was a war for democracy. That was when women really got up in arms. Women were constantly protesting at the White House. They even had a banner that read; "We women of America tell you that America is not a democracy, twenty million women are denied the right to vote. President Wilson is the chief opponent of their national enfranchisement" So happened a Russian delegation was driving up to the White House just in time to read it.

Many would say that such a fight was not good due to it dividing the country. Yet I am sure that this Peggy Scott character would say it was good they did do it even with a war on. Because if not she would not have her job.

Yet here she is crying about giving people rights.“It’s not what we needed to be doing at this time', she says. Just like many a man more than likely said about those brave women that protested for the rights this "Representative" is taking advantage of today. Rights that were fought for during an "inconvenient" time.
